I am happy to present my next project, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES COASTER:

SIX FLAGS — Join forces with the Dark Knight this summer as he flies above and below the city of Gotham in an attempt to foil Bane's plot to destroy the city. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES COASTER, a thrilling wing coaster, is coming to a Six Flags theme park near you.
Guests will traverse through Gotham, across bridges, and into the city's sewers as they approach THE DARK KNIGHT RISES COASTER loading dock. They will then board "The Bat" which seats 28 riders, with no track above or below them.
The "Bat" train will depart the station before climbing nearly 100 feet into the air. After passing through Wayne Enterprises Headquarters, guests will plunge over 90 feet, spiraling into the coaster's first zero-g inversion.

The above rendering simulates riders riding on the wings of the "Bat."
Riders will then maneuver a second inversion, a giant flat spin, before immediately entering a dive element. An overbanked turn directly leads into a world's first element for a wing coaster: the elongated batwing inversion, which inverts riders twice.
A tilted helix leads riders into an indoor sequence where they come face-to-face with Bane and his mercenaries in the sewers of Gotham. Light and water effects heighten the cinematic experience as Batman decides to take on his archenemy.
The train emerges from the sewer as riders climb to a max height of 117 feet. Guests encounter a stunning view of the surrounding scenery, but the tranquility is brief, as the train inverts into a dive drop element, plunging riders 11 stories into another giant flat spin.

Riders speed through another zero-g roll before completing two overbanked turns, the last of which leads back into the loading station.
At 4,466 feet, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES COASTER will be the longest wing coaster in the world. With eight inversions, it will turn riders upside down more times than any other wing coaster. The coaster is a product of the acclaimed Bolliger & Mabillard, responsible for thrilling coaster at many Six Flags properties.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES COASTER will open in summer of 2013.
